without improvements, very slow recovery
Robert80May 15, 2015
My doctor said It should be all normal and able to return to normal life in 2 weeks ... which was not my case. And as my work I have to walk a lot of walking, I'm not working now, because 1 hour long standing and walking, very painful and very swollen foot ... I went to a cardiovascular physician and he said that in two months if the foot does not return to normal, it is best to remove the implant.
my doc recommended use compression stockings and take aspirin, but without positive result
before surgery he said it was very simple and returning to work in 10 days. I am most certain to be in 10 months ... big loss

I had my calf impl surgery more than a month. I decided to do because i had a thinner leg and decided to correct the difference. My doctor promised he would be fine and more self-confidence. The postoperative period was very HARD, i have lucky to have my mother and girlfriend to help me! not even know how I could do simple things like going to the toilet. (NOT WANT TO IMAGINE TWO LEGS IMPLANTS) Now about 40 days later, I always carry swollen foot! and I am very afraid that this does not Improve and need to remove the implant and put money in trash. My doctor has no solutions for me.He says to take aspirin and compression socks that do nothing better.
I am very worried and sad
better i had fat insertion instead

Hey! isn't it too early to be worried? I mean it's only been a month. Did they make a huge difference?
I'm planning on getting mine in August and will unfortunately be recovering solo!:(

not very good improvment... add around 1 inch i need minimum 2, for the correction.
and i cant walk normaly or run. If i know it take lots of time like this i never do that. if i go back i prefer some Pmma injections, i had a brasil girlfriend and ahe had pmma injections in but and very good result.
honest is a lotary ticket... you feel luck? my luck was burn money for nothing, 20% improvment and lot of suffering & maby remove the implant
good luck

first my doctor said amazing things etc and the result if diferent i pay for 100% improvment not 20% i had a chin implant also and the same thing... it shifted..
after we sign the cirurgy terms/contract your result can be a disaster and they got away...

I'm so sorry to hear that:(. I just hope for your sake, it's nothing serious & that there'll be a solution. I'm still going forth with mine though. I'll take the chance and hope for the best.

I am wondering if something wrong went during that procedure. I am a woman, done my two implants in each leg just yesterday and could walk on my own just a few hours after the surgery. Today, the second day, I am home alone and walking. No pain meds at all, just take a muscle relaxer every 5 hours, basically twice a day. Tomorrow is my first post-op follow up
Keep us updated on your progress

Congratulations. Hope you are still loving your results. Please can you share some information about the doctor who did your procedure. ? I am looking into fattening my skinny legs soon, either through calf implants or fat transfer.
How is your recovery going? Hope you are still loving your results.
All the best.
Cheers!
Thanks.

My implants are done 3 weeks ago. Yes, the improvement is very insignificant, about 1 inch. Feet are getting swollen after a few hours of walking, but doctors say first couple months feet should be elevated as much as possible.
My advice to everyone who is considering this procedure is - if money isn't an issue, go for it. I am happy to have any extra on my skinny legs, but it is $7,500 later and lots of restrictions during recovery time.This procedure definitely is not like breast augmentation where you go from nothing to WOW! I consider my surgery a success, but improvement barely noticeable

hello same thing!! I'm using compression stockings and taking medicine Xareltto 20mg !! i have a deep vein thrombosis! and doctors are now studying my blood to see if I have to take drugs to nothing happens bad !! im taking blood for analises once a month!!
my advice to you guys is before cirurgy GO TO A GENETIC DOCTOR FOR GET YOUR BLOOD EXAMINED to see if can develop diseases such as sudden death, cancer and is susceptible to thrombosis!!
they said if my blood is susceptible, the the surgery was only the trigger
